My take on masks.

I would be interested to hear of your blue ray challenges if you care to talk about them. If not, no worries.

Certainly.

First, I'm a very good liar.  I use it for defense.  I can't remember ever using it here on this forum (I hope I'm not lying by saying this  ).  I never felt that I had to.  Now I would like to understand why I feel the need to defend in this way.  I accepted that part of me already and I'm not even sure I would want to change that.  But at the same time I can't help thinking that there must be ways of handling those situations as effectively but without lying.  Is it even a blockage in the throat chakra that I would need to address?  I'm not sure.  An example: It is now fully legal in Canada to use cannabis and when we cross the border into the USA, the border agent can ask you if you have ever consumed cannabis at any time in your life.  If you answer yes to that question, you are not only refused entry, but you are banned forever to enter the USA.  I have absolutely no qualms whatsoever lying in such situations.  Not even a pinprick of unease.

Also, I have serious difficulties listening to others properly.  I am pondering my experiences in real time pretty much all the time while they are happening (using the Law of One).  So I'm thinking a lot when I'm around people.  If a person starts talking to me, I'll often miss the start of the sentence because I'll let my thinking finish before giving full attention to the person.  And without full attention, what is said is completely missed.  I can only do one thing at a time (yeah I know, I'm a guy ).  I have to ask people to repeat all the time !  Plus I'm starting to lose a bit of my hearing it seems.  My father has serious troubles with his hearing, so that's not very surprising.

So I am working on those two themes at the moment.  Mostly on listening.  And it's working too, I'm getting better.  Yesterday I even had a bit of telepathy it seems.  I had one of my elbow on the dinner table and my mind was screaming at me to remove it from there.  I remember thinking: "C'mon, no one here is giving any attention to a small thing like that".  But then my wife whispered to me: "Could you please remove your elbow from the table!" .  It was crystal clear to me that this happened because I am currently working on blue-ray.

Anyway, all completely off track for this thread.  So mods if you feel like moving this post, be my guest!
